What is PBO?

• Geodetic component of EarthScope, installed and operated by UNAVCO and funded by the National Science Foundation.

• Install & run large network to study:

– Earthquake processes & seismic hazards

– Magmatic processes & volcanic hazards

– Active deformation & tectonics

– Continental geodynamics

GPS Data Management Overview

• Data Status

– 182 of 211 stations have returned data

– 105 stations archived routinely

– Others lack comms or have various problems

– Data for Jan 2004-Sep 2005 available via GPS archives

• Data Analysis

– 2 Analysis Centers (CWU, UCB) & 1 GPS AC Coordinator (MIT)

– Data products: position & velocity solutions, time series, etc.

– All of 2004 and July 2005 forward have been processed

– RMS ~1.5 mm horizontal, 4 mm vertical

– Archived at GPS Archives at UNAVCO Facility and IRIS DMC

– Products available from Archives by end of September 2005

• Data Management

– Data Management web site: http://pboweb.unavco.org/data

– Special data request tool available on PBO web site

Real-time GPS Plans

• RTK feeds

– Landowners have access from NetRS

– RTCM (v2.1, 2.2, 2.3), CMR, CMR+, RT17

– Can grant to 3rd parties

– Approximately 25 stations w/feeds as of 8/31/2005

– Includes local surveyors, utilities, etc.

• IP-based data flow

– Possibly using NTrip software (see Weber talk)

– 2005: Test w/5 southern CA stations (w/SOPAC)

– 2006: Test with about a dozen stations

– 2007-2008: expand to selected other stations

Mt. St. Helens Response

• Stations recon’ed Aug 2004

• Installations planned Summer 2005

• Magmatic systems committee

recommended rapid response to

Sept 23rd 2005 increased seismic

activity and steam/ash eruptions

• Installed stations:

– 2 in far field

– 5 on flanks in 2 days

– 2 more on flanks Feb 2005

• 9 more GPS planned

• 4 strain + 4 tilt planned

• Hourly data from 8 stations
